was the reason that the whole State of conneticut was told to evacuate ..... for the emergency response .....

i looked up that word: inadvertent

it means: not focusing the mind on a matter
or not intentional

apparently the buttons are side by side for the weekly test

of the emergency response system....
and the WRONG
button got pressed.... by someone (GOOF) not focussed

oops never mind....:smash: :wall:

I wish I could see inside peoples houses here . How many of them were packing ? the roads werent any heavier , then again how could you tell its bumper to bumper . LOL

Well, thank God it was just an inadvertent accident. Hate to think of what would happen in the case of a deliberate accident.

Gubment officials and public sector employees just live for redundancies. Like on the LIRR where they announce a station as being the "last and final stop" :doh:

I guess the consensus of opinion was that it was an inadvertent accident :hihi:

My Dad came home one day in 1968, told us to evacuate the state of CT...... been stuck on this sandbar ever since ;)

Somebody at work pushed his button.... he did the Johnny Paycheck response, sold the house, and hit the road.....

And we are soooo happy he did, Karl..:happy:

i need to evacuate my bowels.

I left in '83

:happy:

I left Connecticut in 1960 and never went back. Even visits are rough
